People always ask me what sort of cheeses are the best bargain with the best taste profile at Trader Joe's as one can get a pretty good buy there. The cheeses are hit or miss, but here are a few of my picks:
Apart from the Chevre Log with Honey ($3.99 for an 8 ounce log), that we all know is my absolute favorite, here are a few others:
1. Trader Joe's version of Young Goat Gouda clocking in at $8.99 a pound it is cheaper than its counterparts yet just as fantastically milky, chalky, and creamy.
2. Trader Joe's Cave Aged Blue clocking in at $6.99 it is cheaper than its counterparts just like the Young Goat Gouda but piquant, tangy, creamy and full flavored.
3. Trader Joe's Burrata clocking in at $4.99 for two balls of this cheesy goodness, it's half the price of other burrata around town but still with spot on flavor!
Stay away from their Swiss style cheeses and their Spanish style cheeses, think Trader Joe's Iberico and Gruyeres. Not everybody can do everything right.
